Jinyi champion

Chapter 773 Great Wisdom, Great Pattern
Just as Zhu Hao expected.

The method Yang Tinghe used was to find someone to prove it, no one opened it in advance, and checked the content of several controversial examination papers and the examiner's comments.

In order to prove his innocence, Yang Tinghe specially asked someone to find out Yang Dun's paper, and let them see the content of the paper and the examiner's comments attached to it.

Yang Dun is a bit unrestrained, but his knowledge should still be good. Writing articles...you don't have to work hard to achieve something. Sometimes you have to talk about talent. Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen are the famous couple in the Yang family. Yang Dun's father and son are talented and sons, Yang Dun is influenced by his ears and eyes, and he can't think of a difference.

Those present as witnesses, famous Confucian scholars in the capital and representatives of the gentry also spoke highly of Yang Dun's article.

Whether it is well written or not is not important.

The most important thing is to give face to the chief assistant of the dynasty.

With Jin Yiwei standing by, even the representatives of the scholars who came to witness by the side would not dare to make trouble casually. Now that the chief assistant and the big bosses from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment are doing the inspection in person, it is enough face, especially Jin Yiwei's People stand by, and the rules are established. It is not that you are not allowed to protest, but that you must have evidence before you protest.

Now even the papers are placed in front of you, and the articles are recognized as good. If you insist that these candidates wrote such articles because they knew the exam questions in advance, then ask you... Where is the evidence?Take it out and have a look!

The representatives of the scholars at the scene were holding back their anger. Now that even the chief minister of the cabinet has come forward, and there are a lot of tricks, even if there are doubts, who would dare to speak out in public?

Too long?

Do you want to take the next exam?
However, how do we explain to those who protested together when we go back?
Came here and was bought by the court and silenced?
Hard to do!
……

……

Yang Tinghe promised to give the result in one day, but it only took one day.

By the morning of the next day, Yang Tinghe had formed a file of all the investigations and reported them to Zhu Sizhi in detail.

Zhu Si said with a smile: "Old man Yang Ge came out to do the job, and it really got twice the result with half the effort. Those who investigated the case before didn't mean that they were incompetent, but that they didn't have the prestige and strength of old man Yang Ge."

Publicly admiring Yang Tinghe's ability is actually saying that the previous Zhu Mingyang and Tang Yin were just two bastards.

Such a simple case can't be settled, isn't it an embarrassment to the court?
Lin Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, appeared on the list. This time, his tone was much calmer, and he suggested directly: "Your Majesty, since this matter has been ascertained, and it is indeed false, please make an order to announce the result to the world. If anyone picks quarrels again , should be brought to justice.”

"It makes sense."

Zhu Si nodded and said, "In my opinion, if Jin Yiwei or the Ministry of Punishments come forward, it may arouse the rebellious mentality of the scholars, otherwise, let the people of Shuntian Mansion come forward and put up notices... What do you guys think? "

Lin Jun has no objection.

The other ministers present also had no opinion.

That's how things settled.

……

……

It seems that Yang Tinghe took the initiative to share the emperor's worries, and personally resolved a crisis of confidence among scholars in the Beijing Examination.

At the beginning, many people thought that the emperor was behind the scenes, but in terms of the results, the emperor had put a lot of effort into quelling the rumors. Just helping with the dispatch with his heart, and asking Jin Yiwei to support Yang Tinghe at the critical moment, it was not enough. It reflects the sincerity of the new emperor to make up for the rift between the monarch and his ministers.

So much so that now that the matter is over, no one in the court suspects that this matter has anything to do with the new emperor.

It is true that what happened before has hurt Yang Tinghe's reputation, but it cannot be said that the new emperor is the beneficiary, it must be the new emperor who sent people to do it.

If it was really what the new emperor did, then just stir up the muddy water and do nothing. Why do you want to help Yang Tinghe?Isn't this helping political opponents to resolve the crisis?In the end, it made the folk scholars feel that the new emperor favored Yang Tinghe, and hated the new emperor together?

Does this do any good for the new emperor?

In the eyes of many people, the emperor's move really has the style of a wise emperor.

After the matter was over, Yang Tinghe left Fengtian Hall, stopped and let out a long breath, and a group of people surrounded him to congratulate him.

Zhu Mingyang also had a bitter face, and stepped forward to sincerely admit his mistake to Yang Tinghe: "I am incompetent and failed to quell the rumors in time, and I have to trouble Zhongtang to do it yourself."

Yang Tinghe nodded: "It's okay, you have tried your best."

Zhu Mingyang looked very sorry.

This time the matter was not done well, leaving a huge hidden danger for his future promotion. Even a group of ordinary scholars could not deal with it. It also caused a large-scale protest like the Wailing Temple, involving the chief assistant Yang Tinghe... People like you don't transfer to other places to be a petty official. I really feel sorry for those who work hard.

Jiang Mian said with a smile: "In fact, what happened this time is more about the mediation of the cabinet members, and it has nothing to do with other people's right or wrong."

This can be regarded as an excuse for Zhu Mingyang.

Zhu Mingyang cupped his hands, thanking Jiang Mian for extending his helping hand, and buried his head even lower.

Jiang Mian looked at Yang Tinghe again: "It seems that His Majesty is sincerely helping."

From Jiang Mian's point of view, some guesses about the emperor before are really villainous.

But in Yang Tinghe's view, things are really not that simple.

The emperor was not involved in it from beginning to end?
No stabbing in the back?
Then why did you take the initiative to summon him and talk about quelling the rumors before, and pretended to ask him to send someone to investigate with Tang Yin?Could it be that the previous incident of crying at the temple was not precisely because the court showed concern that it led to such a situation?
At that time, Yang Tinghe felt that he was being used by the little emperor, and he was furious in front of his son, but now that the result came out, he found that he misunderstood the little emperor?
After all, Yang Tinghe's political thinking is much higher than that of Jiang Mian.

On the contrary, this does not involve the issue of being infatuated with the authorities. It is precisely because Yang Tinghe is a member of the authorities that he was outraged at being tricked by the emperor.

Because in this matter, Yang Tinghe was the one who suffered the most.

The little emperor seems to be taking sides all the time, but isn't he still using him?

It’s just much smarter than the emperor’s simple harming him. Stabbing a knife in the back first, and then bandaging your wound, makes people feel that the emperor is benevolent and righteous...

This kind of scheming and means is something that a 17-year-old boy who has just been emperor for less than two years can do?

The more he thought about it, the more Yang Tinghe frowned.

……

……

In any case, the turmoil of the general examination is over, and the next step is to determine the time and process of the palace examination.

Because this is the first official exam after Zhu Si ascended the throne...

In the previous session, after all, Zhu Si only presided over a palace examination. This time, Zhu Si was the one who grasped from the selection to the use of talents, so the court paid special attention to it.

There is also a reason, this is also the first time that Yang Tinghe has taken the general examination and the imperial examination consecutively after taking full power.

Didn't the huge turmoil earlier arise because Yang Tinghe's prestige in the court has declined, and many of the recruited tributes belong to Yang Tinghe?

It can be said that without Yang Tinghe in charge, those scholars would not make trouble.

Without the decline of Yang Tinghe's reputation, scholars would not dare to make trouble.

Yang Tinghe keenly felt that just because his influence in the court was not as good as before, in less than two years, the conflicts between the monarch and his ministers had become commonplace. Yang Tinghe's talent repeatedly crushed him, which led to the current situation.

Yang Tinghe could feel an aura of himself being in the morning and evening.

"Father, I have been investigating among the people in the past few days. There are indeed a lot fewer people talking about this matter. Now some people have come out to defend my father, saying that this time is caused by villains attacking behind his back and alienating the relationship between His Majesty and Father. ..."

Yang Shen, as Yang Tinghe's pawn in the court, needs to find out the reaction of the scholars afterwards, so it is better for Yang Shen to play in person.

As for Yang Dun, he is busy preparing for the imperial examination now.

Yang Tinghe nodded: "That's good."

In the study, Yang Tinghe held many letters from officials from other places.

According to general principles, even as the first and auxiliary ministers, one should not have private contacts with the officials below, but this is a means for Yang Tinghe to consolidate the relationship between the court and court. It is essential for officials to establish a stable communication channel.

Yang Shendao: "Then father, what kind of role did he play in this matter today? Is he... really plotting and contributing to the flames in the dark?"

Yang Tinghe lowered his head and continued to read the letter, casually said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to think about it."

It was precisely because Yang Shen couldn't figure it out that he came to ask his father for confirmation.

He clearly remembered that his father seemed to think that the new emperor was the instigator of this incident, why now, the outside world started to talk one-sidedly about the emperor favoring Yang Tinghe?
Shouldn't the emperor get out of the way and wait to watch the fire from the other side?
In this incident, it seemed that the emperor was also a victim, and was targeted by scholars in order to help Yang Tinghe.

"Father, the Spring Lecture is about to start, and my son asks me not to attend the palace lecture in the future." Yang Shen said.

Hearing this, Yang Tinghe couldn't help looking up at his son, frowning and asking, "Why?"

Yang Shendao: "I feel that my talents are not enough, I should let those bachelors go more, and I have to concentrate on studying knowledge."

Yang Tinghe originally wanted to use Yang Shen to exert influence on the little emperor, but he didn't dare to rely too much on Li Tingxiang, Fengxi and other scholars who served as tutors and lecturers.

But it may have hurt Yang Shen in certain matters, so that Yang Shen was not motivated to do things, and now he even retreated in front of him.

"Let's talk about this matter later, there are other things to do as a father."

Yang Tinghe frowned, "You have to remember, you are a son of the Yang family, you can't do things willfully, otherwise you will be like your younger brother, even if you pass the Jinshi exam, a small matter will cause criticism. Go on."

Yang Tinghe did not directly comfort his son.

It was more to warn Yang Shen not to act recklessly.

You brat, you are young and have a good temper. If you were indifferent to you before, you are going to rebel?

Do you really treat yourself as a dish?
If you don't cover you for your father, you are a fart in court.

In a family with strong feudal ethics, fathers are often like this. Instead of enlightening their sons, they use their majesty to force their sons to develop on the path they have planned.

Because no successful father would feel that his son is better than himself.

But the times are constantly advancing.

After the muscles on Yang Shen's face twitched a few times, he saluted and left.

The inner distance between him and his father was getting farther and farther.
